Peace in Phuket:
Go beyond the popular Thai island’s busiest beaches and enjoy a relaxing getaway at Cape Yamu.
Thailand’s hidden gem
Whether you’re in for a family holiday or a couples’ retreat, COMO Point Yamu has loads to offer. Here are five reasons why you should consider it for your next escape.
#1 It’s away from the crowds
The property overlooks Phang Nga Bay from its position on Cape Yamu, a beautiful peninsula on the east coast of Phuket. It’s easy to reach from the airport – a little over half an hour by car. COMO is ideal for those looking to escape the buzz and crowds of the island’s western half, yet it’s still close to the big-name beaches or to Phuket town if you’re keen for a day trip.
#2 There’s a room for every travel group
The resort’s contemporary rooms, suites and villas come with amazing views of the surrounding bay. The brainchild of Italian designer Paola Navone, they’re tastefully decorated in shades of blue and white. If you fancy your own pool, there are plenty of options. Part of a larger group? Pick one of the two- to four-bedroom villas, or Point Yamu Villa, which is spread across two floors, and comes with three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a terrace with an infinity pool. You could even splurge on a night in the COMO Pool Villa, a three-level four-bedroom villa with a kitchen, laundry and helper’s room.
#3 There are fun activities for everyone
The resort has a daily schedule packed with fun things to do, from day trips (Phuket Old Town, ATV tours and even game fishing) to Muay Thai and cooking classes. We recommend taking the cruise to enjoy the views at sunset. At Play by COMO, kids aged four to 12 are kept busy with interactive activities and games. In the mornings, they can enjoy free play, while the afternoons include fun sessions such as T-shirt designing, cupcake decorating and Thai dancing.
#4 It has a private beach club
Spend the day at COMO Beach Club on Naka Island, a 40-minute journey (including a short boat ride) from the resort. Relax in the loungers by the pool or chill at the restaurant and bar by the private beach. You can also try some watersports, from kayaking and paddle boarding to windsurfing. Best of all, if you’re bringing the littlies, you won’t need to worry about finding them things to do, as there’s also a Play by COMO children’s activity centre on Naka.
#5 There’s a spa for pampering
The brand’s signature COMO Shambhala Retreat spa is known to most travel lovers, and is a feature of the Point Yamu property too. Treatment rooms have great sea views, and you can look forward to traditional local therapies and Asian-inspired treatments, including Thai massages, herbal body scrubs and facials. Sign up for a Hatha yoga session while you’re there.
